Riegelsville Inn

||A Charming Riverside Gem with an Enchanting Atmosphere and Gracious Staff||Nestled beside the tranquil flow of the Delaware River in the picturesque town of Riegelsville, Pennsylvania, the Riegelsville Inn stands as a charming testament to historical preservation and riverside hospitality. This stately establishment exudes an old-world charm, gracefully complemented by warm, attentive service and a setting that invites quiet reflection and appreciation of nature’s beauty.||Upon arrival, I was greeted with genuine hospitality, a welcome increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced dining culture. Opting for a Bloody Mary to begin my visit, I was impressed when the bartender inquired—ever so politely—whether I preferred shrimp and additional garnishes. The result was one of the finest renditions of this classic cocktail I’ve had in recent memory: balanced, vibrant, and presented with care.||For my entrée, I selected the Corned Beef Hash, composed of house-cooked corned beef, tri-color potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and two eggs prepared over easy, priced at $22. While the dish arrived with an aesthetically pleasing presentation, the execution unfortunately fell short of the mark. The corned beef and potatoes were noticeably overcooked and excessively oily, diminishing the integrity of the ingredients. Moreover, the eggs—requested over easy—arrived with fully set yolks, a detail that, while minor to some, compromised the overall enjoyment for me.||That said, my experience at the Riegelsville Inn remains a positive one. The allure of the location—perched gracefully beside the bridge that unites Pennsylvania and New Jersey—offers a truly picturesque view of the river. Combined with the character of the Inn itself and the genuinely delightful demeanor of the bartenders and staff, I am inclined to return. One subpar dish does not negate the many merits of an establishment that clearly takes pride in its heritage and hospitality.||I look forward to my next visit and to sampling more of what the Riegelsville Inn has to offer. The promise of a memorable setting and kindhearted service is, in itself, reason enough for a return. ~Juan||

We love this place. Fantastic seasonal menu offers a variety that keeps you coming back for more. Our meals have always been served hot and exceed expectations on presentation, and taste. The drink menu is superb. Go for the seasonal drinks you will not be disappointed. Desserts always top notch. Lastly and most importantly the servers. Whether you are in the pub, dining room, or outside, the team is attentive, timely and willing to answer all questions. They care about your experience. The last three times we have been there, Josh has been our server and he is amazing! The restaurant sits right on the Delaware, so after your meal you can walk across the bridge and take in the sites.

Dined here for Sunday brunch. Had a lovely time at the bar. Their espresso martini is divine! Enjoyed fig toast, crab dip & mushroom frittata. Our bartender was great too…didn’t catch her name. Quaint atmosphere & a fantastic place for outdoor dining.

Was not very busy when my wife and I went. My wife's meal was cold and took 45 minutes to get our first drink. I got fish and chips as one of their specials, tasted like a weeks old carp deep fried. Over all nice location and view

Ate on the porch and it was fun. Some motorcycles went buy as well as an excursion train on the other side of the river. The nearby bridge is pedestrian friendly and is a good place to watch jet skiers.

My husband and I came for a light lunch. Upon arrival we decided to sit outside as the interior was warm and muggy and smelled of fish. He ordered a shrimp cocktail and I a chicken salad wrap. The wrap was warm. The shrimp also warm. He is from the south and only said “this shrimp isn’t fit to eat!” He ate half of the wrap I had and said, “I hope we don’t get sick from warm shrimp and mayonnaise!” The server asked if we wanted another round of drinks and we replied “yes”. The drinks never came. After 20 mins, the server returned and we asked for the bill. We paid and left. Beautiful location. Nice building. Lousy and potentially dangerous food.

We had a lovely dinner at the Riegelsville Inn, and overall, the evening was enjoyable. The food was absolutely fantastic—from the beautifully prepared entrees to the indulgent dessert. I also had a Kir Royale cocktail, and it was perfectly balanced—light, bubbly, and a great complement to the meal. We were a group of five, dining in celebration of our friends’ 23rd wedding anniversary, which made the evening even more special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the location had convenient parking, which was a plus. That said, the service left something to be desired. While our server was polite and generally attentive, the level of service didn’t quite match the price point. It was... fine—just not exceptional. Given that we were celebrating a special occasion (and it was mentioned during the evening), a little extra acknowledgment or personalized touch would have gone a long way. As the evening wound down and the restaurant neared closing, we could definitely feel the staff’s eagerness for us to wrap up. Our server began hovering and doing “busy work” around the table, subtly signaling that it was time to leave. That part felt a little rushed and took away from what had been, up until that point, a very nice experience. We’ve dined at many places where the staff is happy to let guests linger a bit—especially when the table has ordered generously and tips accordingly. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. Would I return? Yes—for the food, drinks, and ambiance. But I do hope the service side of the experience can rise to match the quality coming from the kitchen.

The dining room is vintage with a touch of elegance. Soothing music along with a fair amount of space for you and your partner. A menu with a variety of dishes that aren’t too common but stand out. Drinks are well made with friendly staff.

Let me say that this is a cute and quaint little pub/restaurant. My hubby had surprised me with the Wine Train to Villa Milagro and it was the last train of the season. A beautiful crisp day and a nice lunch was in order. Riegelsville Inn is literally a quick walk across the bridge and you are there. We sat inside and it had a nice little fire going in the fireplace and it was toasty warm. We started off with the toast drizzled with honey over figs it was delicious. Next I had the short rib poutine, it needed more short rib & gravy it was mostly cheese and french fries, but it was delicious as well and very filling. My husband had the lobster mac n cheese and he truly enjoyed it and for dessert he had the creme brulee I had the lemon tart- I was told these were baked locally for them and they were perfect. Zac was our server and he was attentive and very nice, prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend coming here and enjoying a nice lunch. They do have an outdoor patio for dining which I am sure gets very busing warm days.

Up at the tippy top corner of Northeastern Bucks County along the Delaware River sits the small Borough of Riegelsville. I always wanted to take my wife to the Riegelsville Inn for a meal and enjoy the beautiful view of the Riegelsville Free Bridge a wire rope suspension bridge opened in 1904 and designed by the John A. Roebling Company of Trenton (look up the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge in Cincinnati and of course the Brooklyn Bridge which was completed after his death). The inn, which sits in between the Delaware canal and the river, was built in 1838 by Benjamin Riegel, the founder of the town. We parked in a small parking lot on the side of the building and entered in the front door. The tin ceiling bar to the left looked like a great spot to enjoy a drink and a meal. We were seated on the right side back by the original kitchen (no longer in use for that purpose) which boasts a large cooking fireplace that helped keep the room toasty on a cold fall evening. The inn has all the character, craftsmanship and imperfections you would expect from a building that is almost 200 years old! Our server was a nice young man who kept up on us and made great recommendations. They offer bottled and sparking water as an upgrade or just regular tap for us cheap folks. Their drink menu featured over a dozen cocktails, several varieties of both red and white wines, a few sparkling wines and an average beer list. There were two food menus one for the pub and one dining dinner menu. They both had fantastic choices that made it hard to pick. For an appetizer I enjoyed a Shrimp Cocktail and my wife had a naked French Onion Soup that she absolutely loved. For our main entrees she had the Pork Chop 12-ounce pork rib chop, 135-degree sous vide, charbroiled to finish, grilled asparagus, garlic-infused honey drizzle at $34. She was over the moon with the pork chop. It was cooked perfectly, very juicy and absolutely delicious. She shared a bite and I agreed. I had the Ciderhouse Short Rib - apple cider braised boneless short rib, garlicky Brussels sprouts, mashed sweet potato, pumpkin spiced crispy onions at $38. The meat was tender and flaked off well, the sprouts which I normally dislike were great as was the mashed sweet potato. We were both happy with our choices. The bathrooms were located upstairs where you could find more dining areas. It's nice that they have preserved a lot of the buildings old features, but the building is very drafty and some areas could use a bit of TLC. Overall though this was a great stop for a night out with my wife and I would repeat when the weather is warmer and allows for a walk across the bridge!

My wife planned an incredible two night stay in a cozy cabin specifically so that we could visit this establishment. We drove from over two hours away. The food was definitely enjoyable. The drunken man stumbling in and attempting to start a fight with several patrons, was not. I fully understand that this is not the fault of the establishment, but our waitress specifically ignoring us and avoiding bringing our check to close only exacerbated the situation. She was clearly displeased in being assigned our table, and made no effort to conceal this fact throughout the evening. I've never been made to feel more uncomfortable dining at a restaurant from start to finish. It was incredibly disappointing to be made to feel so unwelcome on our special dinner, but it was more disappointing that the clear discrimination against us was so consistent. If you're looking for decent food, it's not a bad spot. If you're looking for the atmosphere and service, look elsewhere. We left feeling disappointed and incredibly uncomfortable.

When visiting the area we like to stop by especially for bloody Mary's! Last night 4 of us went there. The app of cheese w figs on bread Delicious, could use more figs! My lobster roll was good sent back fries as cold. One mis step. Pork chop was very good. Crab cake was enjoyed and filet mignon sandwich was tasty. Service was good and Eva server was good. Busy so missteps were not terrible. Just like this old building w charm. Be warned drafty if sitting near doors!

Service was great, and the food was delicious. I know it was Father's Day, but I found it odd that they were out of so many menu items.. Reading more reviews, it seems that happens often.

I'll go with the consensus of a 3-star. There are many positives and sadly negatives. Let's start with the positives. A historic building, a warm feeling, friendly and accommodating staff, nice menu selections from both wine (white and reds) and food options (bar menu, dinner menu). Our platings were nice, portions were nice, especially the wine pours. However, it was in the food preparation that they fell short of a 4 or 5. We started off with Antigal Uno Malbec, (wife) and Conannon Carbernet, (myself), both excellent glasses with lovely legs and bold flavors. Of our appetizer we started with the french onion soup, was just okay, I was rather expecting more omph from the flavor and presentation making it the best or one of the best I've ever had. It was on the more common side across places we've ordered french onion soup. We both ordered off the bar menu, my wife, the Colonel (fried chicken), the mistake here was that my wife should have asked if "Kentucky Fried" version or lightly fried. This was the super high fry end of Kentucky Fried where the meet was dry and the fried breaking super crisp and that was served on a cold roll that touched the grill top for seconds by the one grill marking. Ruins a sandwich meal with the ingredients are warm but the roll or bread is cold. Even the sweet potato fries were on the limp side. I had ordered he Sour Joe, tips of filet mignon on sourdough, and instead of fries I asked for a green vegetable which they accommodated with grilled brocolli. While tasty, mine dish too was on the cooler side. Odd thing, we sat at 5pm and the dining room was nearly empty with one large table wrapping up. Otherwise not busy, hence why then was our meal prepared this way? Not sure. Had higher hopes and may try again if we pass through again.

We were out riding on the canal path and and stopped here for lunch. Very cute old Inn. We only had sandwiches as we had to ride back. I had the Cesar salad with chicken. The small was $17.00. They are pricey but all Inns are. They offer outdoor dining as well. They are located on the river. Everyone enjoyed their food. Sorry no food pictures. I was starving.

Hmm I've been coming here for years with my dads. I'm just sad the menu died down a bit... but the food is still good. I think our servers name was Chris and he was great. Literally kept refilling my Shirley Temple even I kept knocking it over for some odd reason. I swear I wasn't drunk. Lol. Okay so for the food; Escargot: Not what I was expecting. It's different. However it still tasted great. I will say that I do miss the original buttery roasted escargot, but this new style was interesting and I kept digging in. 4/5 for me. Cast Iron Mac: Mehhh. No shade, it was okay. I just love that the pasta was cavatappi noodles. At least it was picture worthy. 3/5 Botticelli: Listen now!!! Granted there's only like 3 scallops, the aroma and flavor was spot on. I think this dish suits more for the summer time. The colors and presentation won me. 5/5 Tuddy: This was actually my boyfriends dish. I normally don't eat sandwiches at a restaurant but this was decent. 3.5/5 Elch: Solid Dish. The elk was cooked perfectly. The only thing that threw me off was the mashed parsnips. I wasn't expecting it to taste the way it did. Almost like creamy air if I may explain. 4/5 French Onion Soup: I will forever be a fan of their French Onion. Just give me all the cheese in the world on top of the soup! 4.5/5

Passed this Inn multiple times when heading to the Poconos it's nestled right at the base of the bridge to NJ. I finally stopped in for a quick bite to eat. All the old Inn charm, the smell of a wood burning fireplace, creaky floors and stained glass. There was only one server but he was super sweet, full of energy and got the job done! Had to try the French onion soup I feel like that's an Inn staple. It was good. Nothing insanely outrageous but def a very tasty broth. The bread was a thin slice of Rye, I feel like that's where it could be improved on. I wanted to try some savory baklava with pears and Brie but they were out of it so my husband ordered these croquettes instead. They were interesting - I have no idea what the breading was and the inside was cheesy and had different flavors. Not a potato croquette if that's what you are looking for. The sandwich was solid - the chicken perfectly crispy and tender inside and the ranch was def homemade. The fries were homemade crispy shoestrings which is always nice - overall it was a nice experience I would like to come back for a dinner meal. Negative - bathroom is upstairs, it's super old and creepy, I def felt the energy of whoever resided there in the past! But that's part of the charm of these old Inns

Don't let the low reviews stop you from coming here. Everything was excellent. Service was quick and polite. The old building has a cozy feel with a crackling fire place. The dirty martini was extra briney- just the way I like it. Tuna tartare was the best dish we had so far. The cured egg yolk is creamy and salty.

Great food and service every single time I go, including when it is busy. Only thing I wish they would do is bring back that Nashville hot chicken sandwich

Our new Friday night favorite! From the amazing service from Philly and Kenzie, to the excellent cocktails and delicious food - it keeps us coming back for more. Try the braised short ribs and the steak sandwich! The homemade crème brûlée is also on point! Beautiful outdoor riverside dining!

The atmosphere is very nice at the inn and the service is consistently good. We always enjoy taking a walk on the bridge after dinner. We both really enjoy the lobster bisque. My husband enjoyed his crabcakes. I would not recommend ordering beef there. The last time we ate there the filet mignon was tiny and dried out and this time my ribeye was very tough and chewy. Everything else we had was very good.

This restaurant is phenomenal the food is excellent & so is the service.& the ambiance is on point Everyone I take 2 this restaurant absolutely adores the food & service also. I really do not eat @ any other restaurant because this restaurant never , ever fails me It is my go 2 spot!!! See u on Mother's Day R.Inn JU

This place is so great! The food was delicious! I got the chicken stuffed with bacon, Brie and pears and my fiancé got the bacon wrapped pork and it was perfection! Our server was so enthusiastic and the service was very quick! I loved the vibe of this place! The lit fireplace made it so cozy! We are from out of town but I hope to be back again!

The restaurant is in a beautiful location near the Delaware River. The Inn is charming with a our side and restaurant dining on the other side. Both offer full menu options. Our server Taylor was amazing. Cocktails to start we chose a cosmo and a Peachy Pony...both made delicious. Appetizer was por chili with jalapeño, sour cream and cilantro. Dinner entrees were off the charts...soooo good. The roast duck was the best duck I have ever been served. Kudos to the chef. The Vrabel cakes were so large and tasted fantastic we had to bring one home. The steak Frite and Salmon frites ordered by our friends were also prepared beautifuly and tasted amazing. Mousse cake/pie with a great chocolate crust finished off a great meal. Can't wait to come back again very soon.

Second time eating here. Service and food were very good. Outdoor seating on the left side was clean, spacious, and comfortable (the dirt gravel parking on the side however was a bit annoying when on occasion a car kicked up dirt into the air. breeze was in our favor). Indoor has a great old farmhouse vibe. Had two appetizers - chicken salad w/sourdough toast, and beets (red and yellow) in a lite dressing with chèvre. both were fresh and good portions without being too large - easily shared. for mains we had a mesclun salad, and a BLT with fries. both again were well prepared and nice portions without being too much. fries could be a bit crispier. bloody mary's from the bar were great and as-ordered, spicy, and i suspect they use their own tomato juice which was nice. service was polite and attentive, prices were reasonable if not cheaper than we expected given current economic climate. all in all a fine lunch - highly recommended.

We took a wrong turn and happened to pass this place. It location and beauty attracted us. We went in and were seated on the 2nd floor balcony with a fabulous view. The service was excellent. I ordered the crab cakes..and they were perfect. My wife and our friend were also very pleased with there meals. I am going back to try some of the other Items on there menu.

Beautiful place to sit outside for lunch and watch the river. Handhelds are really good and service is great.

I know I review this place more than I should but it deserves an update just because my ONLY pet peeve looks like it is getting fixed My wife and I were there for Valentine's Day and the food was outstanding as always. We were on the dining room side near the fireplace and the service and food was wonderful as it always is. What was wonderful to see was that the very worn and dirty carpeting in the staircase leading to the second floor had been removed. I'm not sure when it was started but it was nice to see that removed. Oddly enough the same funky carpet remained on the second floor but hopefully that's on its way out. Someday we might actually try to stay at this inn like we wanted to do eight years ago. In the mean time we will enjoy the fantastic food they serve in the pub and dining room.

Lovely historic building. We had very good service. Food is OK but the presentation is not. It could be so much better with a bit of sophisticated guidance and a few simple changes. In addition...does it really take that much to find some remnant carpet to replace the filthy floor upstairs where the restroom is? Makes one wonder about the kitchen...

I went there for dinner and had the worst service. We were totally ignored. I actually called the next week to tell the manager my experience. I first talked to Beth. She was very nice and apologetic. She said I should call back when the manager was in. I called back later in the week and talked to Stacey. She was very professional apologetic. I explained to her the server never introduced themselves, didn't tell us about any specials, never refilled our waters, my salad sat in front of me until my dinner came (no one came back to pick it up), and we had to try to flag someone down for 10 minutes to pay our bill. I also said to Stacey "If we were going to get ignored like that, the hostess should have sat us somewhere else." Again she was apologetic. Stacey offered to give the resturant another chance. She said "I want to meet you and make sure you have a better experience next time." And offered to mail me a gift card. That was very nice and unexpected. 3 weeks went by and no gift card ever came in the mail. So after this I would recommend eating somewhere else.

I recently stumbled across the Rieglesville Inn after moving to Durham, and I am grateful that I did. Service is always professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Wine list is diverse. Cocktails are very thoughtful and creative. Food... amazing... I am now becoming a regular for the Lamb Burger (medium rare) with fries, it is always cooked to perfection, juicy, and the flavor combinations are in sync and on point. Iv also had the escargot, and beef tartare, both of which were very well prepared and very tasty. This is definitely on my list for favorites in the Lehigh Valley. Highly recommend. *** Unfortunately the burger didn't last long enough for pictures... hopefully I can remember next time!

If I was ONLY rating the service and the atmosphere, I would give it a 5 out of 5. HOWEVER, everything else was not up to par. We have passed this restaurant many times and have wanted to try this beautiful historic inn out for a special occasion dinner. My friends who live near this restaurant bought me a very generous gift certificate for my birthday. We thought it would be nice to include them when we found a date to go there and also included another couple, who all 6 of us are great friends -- we had drinks in the bar prior to our dinner reservation -- drinks were great, wonderful wine pour and the bartender was FABULOUS! When seated, we were given options for tables even though we were a party of 6, which most restaurants are limited in options for a party that size. We had the best table in the house right next to the beautiful fireplace which had a fabulous fire burning. Our waiter was amazing -- like I said -- service 5 out of 5 -- I had a question about one of the items on the menu, to which the waiter explained that they were out of. He proceeded to tell us that they were also out of one of the appetizers. I understand restaurants run out of things. I was highly disappointed that both of my first choices for appetizer as well as entree were both on the 86'd list. Even though I was not in the mood for a steak, I figured how could I go wrong with a filet mignon -- well, the 5 star ended with the service. Everyone in our party of 6 was very disappointed with their meals. 4 of us had the filet mignon -- which definitely was NOT a filet mignon -- not the texture nor the flavor was that of filet mignon -- 2 ordered medium rare; two ordered medium well -- while I understand a medium well steak will not have the same flavor of a medium rare steak, ALL 4 were VERY dry and chewy. I had medium rare to the rare side...it was prepared to Medium. Other guests had your meatloaf entree -- also dry. The mashed potatoes served with the steak were dry and pasty. I brought my dinner home. I never finished it because I didn't like it at first serving, so why would I like it after being heated up and cooked more thoroughly. Onto dessert -- you guessed it -- they were out of my first choice -- the Lemon tart. We all had dessert -- it was just ok. My biggest disappointment was that I sent an email to this establishment explaining our disappointment -- a very professional email -- not looking for anything in return, but just wanted to let them know because if they're not aware that something is wrong -- they can't fix it. I thought I should at least receive a return email indicating that they received the email and maybe just an apology for our bad experience. But I got nothing! I MIGHT give this establishment a second chance, but would only visit the pub area and probably order from the pub fare menu for food. For the price of the food, it was very disappointing.

Ambience at Riegelsville Inn built in 1838 was extraordinary! French Onion soup and Caesar salad without anchovies were both good. Service was great!

Regarding my last review, while I was unhappy with service, it was probably exacerbated by the fact that my wife at the time was probably not speaking to me and sleeping in another bedroom. This time we got great outdoor seats and our server Michael did a great job! My son had the lamb lollipops and I had the escargot appetizer and lobster roll. Hope to be back again!!

Very charming atmosphere. The large dinning room was quiet and not crowded. The menu is varied and even offers vegan option. Starter: The Ceasar salad was not flavorful at all. Entrée: Half sous vide chicken with fingerling potatoes and green beans ... delicious and really good flavor. Dessert: the biggest disappointment. 1: a puff pastry turnover served with ice-cream. The turnover was served cold, flat and stiff (slight stale?). The house made ice-cream was tasty but the serving ($4 extra) was little more than two bites. 2: poached pear w/raspberry sauce. Flavor was interesting but the pear itself was flavorful and not fully cooked. I don't send food back ever but I came close to doing so with these desserts.

Food was fantastic, service was not. If you have other plans for the night, I would not recommend this place. Once we started eating, the food was so delicious we forgot how horrible the service was. Food Quality: 10 out of 10 Service: 3 out of 10 Recommendations: Sour-DOH, Lobster Roll, Escargot

Many thanks to the friendly and attentive staff of the historic Riegelsville Inn who made a family birthday celebration a festive and memorable dining experience. Rainy weather forced us to change our outdoor plans to an indoor venue and the RI graciously accommodated our large party and arranged a lovely semi private room on the second floor for us. We received a warm & friendly greeting from the hostess and the waitstaff provided friendly, attentive and efficient service. Our family has celebrated several family occasions at this restaurant and the food has been consistently great. We look forward to returning to this well managed establishment!

The place is not clean, and expensive. I won't risk my stomach to such an unclean place. The food was not great, I'd say just fair. However the service was good.

The food was fine, but the service sucked. We sat on the porch and feel like they forgot about us. For the prices, the service was terrible. Almost to the point of being rude. We asked several times and could not even get water. I haven't been here for 15 years. I might try this place again in another 15 years.

I was very disappointed. Nothing special. Chicken I had was dry. The starters were okay, overpriced. 6 shrimp for $15?! Crazy. Location is nice. That's basically the only good thing about this place.

Third/last visit. If you read the menu online, or look at the pictures, you will think this is a 4-5 star restaurant. It is anything but. Mediocre food. Fancy names but really just a step above Applebee's. Fairly nice inside. Very rustic and has potential, but really rather run down. The staff is the worst aspect of the place. No dress code for employees. Bar maid/ waitress was dressed in torn sweatshirt draped over her shoulder. She spends most of her time hanging at bar drinking with patrons. I had to walk up and get drinks. Even though she looked right at empty glasses on table, she just hung out there. Bar patrons and bar maid are loud and crude with lots of foul language. Second time I saw same bar maid drinking with customers. Not sure if the owner is onsite, but he needs to check this out.

Wait help stressed and rude...too bad. Used to be a great place to have dinner--- so long ago. Not much else to say but music is great and drinks....

Good news...Riegelsville Inn does not charge you for inedible food. Bad news...you leave hungry and disgusted. Service is horrible. The restaurant was not crowded at all. We were the only people in the dining room most of the time. There was a scattering of people seated outside. We shared a very forgettable Caesar's salad. No one ever came back until our entrees came out (salad plates still in front of us). After our dinners were served, no one checked back. My husband wanted another glass of wine. That never happened. His rack of lamb for $42 was undercooked and extremely fatty. My yellowfin tuna (for $34) was overcooked, inedible...with a side of Asian salad that was a joke. We sat and sat and sat. No one. My husband got up twice to try to find a server. After his second attempt, someone finally came. I sent my meal back. They were kind enough to not make me pay for my inedible food and they did credit us for our wine. But, they seemed not to care at all that they sent me home hungry. They offered us nothing else. We ended up stopping at Descendants Brewing in Milford because we were still hungry. We have eaten in thousands of places all over the world. Riegelsville Inn ranks in the top 3 of our worst experiences.

Mushroom tart was pretty good tasting, not outstanding, very small and lonely on the plate. One egg! ...is there a shortage on eggs I didn't know about? My wife had a Cesar salad, it was fine, nothing creative, average freshness, homemade croutons looked like they were store bought. No shaved cheese effect. I can not go back for another reason though... The carpeting in the hall and up to the upstairs rooms is putrid, sticky dirty, I can't believe the health department allows them to be open, it's that bad. Beautiful views of the river, but save your money and take a walk instead.

I could not say enough for my server. He was the best. The hostess was also very pleasant. However, the meal did not go well. I had to send back my Caesar salad. It consisted of plain romaine, little dressing could be found, no noticeable cheese and one anchovy plopped on top. Clearly whoever made this salad had no pride in presentation. Hoping my entree would be better I was sorely disappointed. The trout was dry and tasteless. We'd eaten in the bar before and from a simpler menu had no such problems. We'd go back again but only to the bar.

We came here after a massage Saturday at 2:15 pm. I am allergic to shellfish so I am limited but the place was packed and the food took 30+ minutes to arrive. If your looking for character is 5 stars Food is very tasty. Steak sandwich is a 5 Portable lo wrap is a 5 Wait a 3.5 Ambiance every one wants to be outside but the tables were taken or in reserved. If I knew food wound take this long I would have waited for an outside table. Will come back

The food is extremely inconsistent...as though they have a new cook each month or someone is asleep at the wheel..shame...could easily be a top joint - location alone automatic 4 stars. Bring in a quality food experience and staff who care - the world is yours...

Stopped by for late evening drinks and coffee. Sat outside with friends and had a lovely time. The outdoor seating is very comfortable. Wait staff really nice and I'd go back again for food and drinks if I'm ever in the area.

Foods pretty good, but staff seems completely unconcerned about diners. The place was empty and we were offered two tables. Outside next to a busy, loud road, when there were some beautiful empty tables available in a quieter location. Inside we were offered a table in the bar where the staff talked loudly about killing rodents and pregnancy issues. One was so loud I couldn't even hear the person sitting at my table.

Lovely historic restaurant and b&b right on the Delaware River. Love their lobster stew and Mac and cheese, very reasonably priced. Bartenders and waitstaff are friendly and very accommodating. The pub is warm and inviting after a day on the river. Be sure to take a scenic walk across the Riegelsville Bridge just across the street or dine outside in one of their covered outdoor seating areas or under the stars along the canal path. You won't be disappointed with this step back in time.

Please, please , please Dont be fooled, this is NO fine dining establishment. My wife tried to set up a Romantic date for us after being with our kids for a week on Staycation. Total FAIL this spot was. As you drive up and see the beat up property, your thinking that this CANT be the place. You finally find a spot in their lot and notice the people at the PUB with work boots and shorts. Hey, that is cool if that is what you expected BUT when you don your nice slacks, shoes and button down..... NOT cool. We get passed that and go sit in the yard where i was covered in Caterpillars and my wife who donned this beautiful dress and shoes had to fight to keep the bugs out of her hair. We accept that it is outdoors and summer so we order some apps and our meal. The apps were really good and so was Philly our server. He even blessed me with bug spray. My wife ordered a Filet Mignon and i ordered a strip steak. I get my steak and it is a bit tuff but i wont be petty, still waiting on my brides Filet because she wanted it well. We get the filet and im surprised it was NOT mooing on the table. She sends it back, 10 mins or so later it arrives and to our surprise, Its still uncooked!!! This whole time waiting i am using a butter knife to cut my steak because they had No steak knives available. My dear yelpers, there were 4 tables tops in the place and one table was eating burgers. After Philly took her food, he came back about 10 mins later to ask if we WANTED DESSERT!!! Yes i did but explained i needed to leave because i was besides myself. Not one time a manager came out to greet us or ask if we were ok. So, 108 dollars later and we LEFT HUNGRY. I spoke to the manager yesterday and explained how it was such a horrible experience, he offered his apologies and if we would come back, ABSOLUTELY NOT i told him. The best part of the night was as we sat down to look at the menu, i got to look at my beautiful wife. I gave it 2 stars because Philly was polite, kind and i understand that he didnt cook the food!

I am absolutely APPALLED by the non-service we just received. It is 9:32 pm on New Years Eve. We just walked out. We arrived for our 9pm resvervation at 8:50. We were seen, told someone would be with us... and proceeded to be ignored while other employees chatted, filled the mint bowl and were repeated walked by. Then, at 9:02 a man in a striped sweater pointed at our table, and told us to seat ourselves. We sat there for another 10 minutes, watching other guests be sat down appropriately. At the 15 min mark we got water and bread. At the 20 minute mark a hostess in a black and white dress saw that we hadn't been helped and sent over "Samantha", who took our order. At the 32 minute mark, when we STILL had not gotten our drinks, I noticed the hostess in the black and white dress,standing at the entrance to the bar, sipping a glass of bubbly. That was it. She is drinking, but I'm not?? OK. Sure. I found "Samantha" told her we were leaving and that was it. Not ONE of you batted an eye. And to boot, the restaurant wasn't even full. Way to treat guests are prepared to spend over $120 on a meal (according to what we ordered) on New Years Eve. Thank you for a MOST memorable evening; memorable in the worst way possible. And YES I left the same review on Facebook. Happy New Year. Addendum: 1/1/18 1:18p Lolz. And "cancelling" the reservation doesn't erase your crappy service or our ruined dinner. Maxim's 22 in Easton, PA was more than happy to accommodate us, at almost 10pm, without a reservation. We had an amazing meal, fabulous and attentive service from several people AND they salvaged our NYE. My birthday is on 1/3, and THAT is where we are headed.

I will not return to this restaurant - overpriced - i had the trout dinner - came with not much - small size fish - no rice or potatoes - I left hungry , we asked for some bread and were charged $ 5.00 for some average bread . First time I was charged for bread in my life . Good atmosphere and location . Stay away from the restaurant , just get some pub food in the pub .

Ehhh just ok. This restaurant is in a colonial house that is haunted, so that's cool lol It's on the Delaware river, with a cozy vibe, but the food is just ok though it is very pricey. Not many places where to eat around here, so I guess they have that going.

Stopped in at 9:15 on a Friday night to sit at the bar for a quick snack and drink and was told the kitchen was closed even though it says open until 10 and to try Hooks across the way. Disappointing.

Just a run of the mill inn type place. Atmosphere was ok, but they try to present at a higher level than they can maintain. Pricey by PA standards.

Atmosphere was perfect, dinner was delicious however after reviewing the bill I was Extremely disappointed in them taking advantage of my business. A bottle of Chardonnay doesn't not cost 94.00 I don't like to be taken advantage of and I will think twice before returning
